What would you guys use to clean the outside of a recent stern cabinet? In this particular case, a spiderman.

Use something very mild like Simple Green. You might want to cut it down a bit with water. That being said Stern cabinets will easily swell if liquid sits on them to long. Terry B at http://pinballrehab.com/ mentions using foaming carpet cleaner for the inside of cabinets. The foam limits the amount of cleaner applied.

Remember to be gentle while cleaning the cabinet. Those Stern graphics will wear right down if you exert too much pressure.
+1 on simple green. Just dilute in water if you are worried about it but should be fine as long as you dont spray directly on the cabinet and soak it.
Mean Green..yes, can take off finish but usually its ok. Have used it with no issue but also noticed how it takes off paint (for instance wife uses it on tray tables and it is starting to pull color) so safe that for non wood/painted surfaces like metal and plastic.
I'm sure everyone has their special cleaner and some in depth reason, but I just use fantastik, probably the same as 409. Haven't had any problems so whatever. Simple green I am guessing will work just as well.
Believe it or not but just using Caranuba wax will take that right off. Does anyone else wax their cabinets? I do on my Spiderman.
